The Green Bay Packers invited Wisconsin TE Jake Ferguson to their local pro day last Friday, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Ferguson was a three-year starter for the Badgers and amassed 145 receptions for 1,618 yards and 13 touchdowns during his college career.
Naturally, Packers fans are always enamored with home-grown prospects, and Ferguson could become the second Badger to be drafted by the Packers in consecutive years. Offensive lineman Cole Van Lanen was a sixth-round pick in 2021.
The Packers are expected to be in the market for a tight end in this year’s draft with Robert Tonyan recovering from an ACL injury and Marcedes Lewis set to turn 38 in May.
